Elizabeth McGovern looked beautiful, as did most of the showbiz luminaries in attendance like George Clooney and Damian Lewis.
After seeing the arrivals of so many D.C. power people, I was reminded of the saying that "Politics is show business for ugly people."
Yes, that's mean and shallow. Those powerful people don't claim or need to be glam. But I've been spoiled after watching three months of exquisitley dressed beautiful people at movie awards shows.
But in all fairness, Vice president Biden's son is movie star handsome.

Now tomorrow morning, I'll breakfast in bed, and then get straight up into the tweeds.

I love how the Dowager Countess insists on being a Persian cat.

I loved that... And it's nice to see Richard Kind attempt a voice other than his usual flat nasely tone. But I think he was dressed up like Bates, when he should have been dressed like Lord Grantham. Eh, details.
And poor Edith, unable to do even the simplest things.

Aww, poor Edith. I really hope in season three something goes right for her. It feels like throughout the entire series she's been insulted, dismissed and/or ignored by everyone, including her parents. This is one of the main reasons why I actually liked Lord Boring of Tractor, because he seemed to be the only one who treated her like a human being and genuinely appreciated and cared for her.

I'm really starting to wish that Canadian Burn Victim is proved to be the genuine, true heir; that he marries Edith; and that he and Edith get to pick which guest cottage to which Matthew and Mary are consigned.
I'm also hoping it was evil Mrs. Bates #1 being sarcastic on the ouija board saying "may they be happy."

They wouldn't get that call if this were to happen. Robert would likely gift M/M Crawley House if that were to happen. Remember when Cora was pregnant and Robert told Matthew he would give him Crawley House if the baby had been a boy?
I doubt burn victim, who I am convinced was Patrick's friend Peter Gordon, will return. Yeah, I know Fellowes was all, "Oh you never know! He just might return!" but Fellowes was also dropping hints M/M would not get together in the Xmas special. We all know how that ended.
I think Edith will end up with Sir Anthony. The special was basically setting it for her to pursue him (maybe Mary will help her out) and some of the photos that leaked out also lead me to believe they will end up together.

In a recent LA times story, Elizabeth McGovern herself reveals that she wasn't a huge fan of the 2nd season: Personally, I'd classify it as "I watch Gossip Girl and find some of these twists to be too soapy" more than a "taste" thing, but that's just me. Honestly, I think Fellowes could benefit from an additional showrunner/writer. Something to push him out of his comfort zone. That said, I am looking forward to how Shirley shakes up S3.
